Can too many frequencies or just wifi signals cause problems in a closed space? Why or why not?

Reason why this came to me. I recently was using a digital audio board in a room with 300 people/cellphones, police/fire/emt with radios and multiple wifi networks. My ipad refused to connect to the audio board. So this got me thinking if it was possible to have too much wireless clutter in the air. Added bonus if anyone can explain how to avoid this problem but understanding if and how it happens is most important. Thanks!

Bonus answer on how to avoid this problem. If all you can use is wi-fi, you can’t. Anticipating the problem decades ago telecom regulators worldwide designated 470-800 MHz where TV channels broadcast for onstage wireless microphones. A few unused TV channels are available everywhere worldwide. Due to the recent reduction of spectrum for TV channels in the US the FCC even allocated one unused channel exclusively for wireless microphones. Basically the solution to the problem is to use frequencies either lightly used or allocated exclusively for professional wireless microphones.
